Young Moro Professionals Council Explained

Size:150px

Young Moro Professionals Council, almost always referred to by its abbreviation YMPC, is an organization of young Muslim professionals in Mindanao.[1]

In July 2006, YMPC and members of the international peace monitors, which oversees the peace talks between the Philippine government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front or MILF, turned over a reconstructed water system to an orphanage in Polomolok, South Cotabato.[2]

In April 2007, YMPC supported a Qur’an reading competition in General Santos hosted by Office on Muslim Affairs,[3] a government agency mandated to uplift and improve the conditions of the Muslims in the Philippines[4]

In September 2008, YMPC was one of the non-government organizations that assisted the internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Maasim, Sarangani after some “lawless” members of MILF attacked the municipality.[5]

YMPC has provided Muslim inmates and orphans with food and clothes, and free tutorials to Muslim graduating high school students in Sarangani to help them pass college scholarship examinations.[6]
